RE: City of Eagle Intersection Safety Concern

Cl.e V-
As discussed with Mr. Terry Little, the City has concerns about the safety and adequacy of the
referenced intersections. Their proximity to each other and the associated traffic movements that
have resulted pose significant long range problems for the area, potentially as residential density
on Ballantyne increases. At the direction of the City Council, we are formally requesting a
planning study to resolve the issues raised in the attached Memorandum of May 18.
Further, the Council requests that they, through staff representation, be kept involved in the
discussions of planning options throughout the study. City staff has looked at several alternatives
that they would like to present for consideration to the consultant selected by ACHD_ To arrange
a meeting on alternatives, please contact Mr. Mark Butler, City Zoning Administrator at 939-
6813. Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.
Sincerely,
HOLLADAY ENGINEERING CO.
